b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 A new propaganda effort is underway by Trump, cowardly Republicans, and their dishonest rightwing media machine attempting to fool the public that impeachment hearings in the U.S. House Intelligence Committee were somehow "a disaster for Democrats." Even mainstream corporate media has been helpful in spreading the fake news. But new polls show steadily increasing support for impeachment over each week of public hearings, with a 50 percent majority supporting impeachment and removal from office of the President of the United States. In comparison, during Bill Clinton's impeachment in 1998, support for the GOP effort among Americans never rose above 29 percent. The constant drip, drip, drip of increasingly damning information against Trump shores up a mountain of evidence that Trump directed a quid pro quo bribery scheme against Ukraine, conditioning military aid and other official acts in exchange for Ukraine launching public investigations into his 2020 political rival Joe Biden and a debunked theory that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 election. New testimony revealed that two Office of Management and Budget officials resigned over concerns that Trump's withholding of military aid to Ukraine was illegal. NYT reports Trump had already been briefed about the whistleblower complaint that kicked off the impeachment inquiry, long before he released the military aid. While various blockbuster revelations from witnesses received most of the attention over the first two weeks of public hearings, we share two of the clarifying closing summations by Intelligence Chair Rep. Adam Schiff that nicely wrap up the damning evidence against the President, and what the stakes are for the country. Our mission, as journalists, is to help educate the electorate, and we hope today's show might help all of us find our way out of this dark hour in American history..."
